As predicted there was not the dght
est change In the Senatorial equation
yesterday, but from appearances and
from whit meagre information could be
Kained, matters have arrived at such a
staK th;tt 1t will be impossible to main
tain the present equanimity very much
longer and the long anticipated break
and the subsequent disorder that it will
precipitate, is likely to occur any day
tnoiv and it is not altogether unlikely
that it' will occur today.
' Although there was much talk of
there being a conference and an under
standing scheduled or looked forward
to between the Multnomah and Geer
forces and the scattered element last
night, so far a s is known It did not take
place, but. so far as that is concerned,
it wts not necessary to transpire and
an jjpreorneit could have been arrived
at without4 a caucus but. if such is the
case, the secret is being very Jealously
gunrded and will not leak out, us mem
bers of toth factions have- been closely
questioned, but no "satisfactory results
were obtained. '
The Multnomah delegation held a
meeting and a secret caucus last even-
lived at on the Senatorial question, it
was kept a profound secret! It was
rumorfd. howeverwhich lacks, confim
ation th;it the Multnomah delegation is
now 'ripe to propose the name, of Hon.
H. W. Scott before the assembly, but.
if true, whether it will come today or
tomorrow is not known.
The fleer force are still quite confi
dent of success, while the Fulton fac
tion is equally if not more so, and the
source.. 'of the unbounded . encourage
ment from all sides cannot be .discover
ed, for" the closes, scrutiny and ques
tioning fails to bear an v. fruit of satis
faction. It may be saidj however, that
theri is a .slight-, rupture among the
Multnomah delegates, becasioned ' by
the Tort of Portland Commission last
night, but what proportions this slight
eruption might assume cannot even be
conjecture!. ' "
Representative Hume, of Coos and
Curry counties, who has long'been
lHsed among the dark horses in the
Senatorial brigade. will give a
"smoker" to the solons at his "resi
dent i " on Chemeketa street tonight
wh-rt. it is thought, some new develop
ments may come to li&rht. Whether
Mr. Hume will come t light in the
garb, of a candidate or throw aside all
aspirations remains to be seen.
It is also said that the Hon. Jonathan
i.ourn, Jr., entered the caucus of the
Fulton men In Senator Brownell's
office vesterday afternoon and renmin
bi several minutes, but exactly what
Hgriiaeanee ;this has upon the situa
tion can only be guessed at, for outside
of the mystic circle. It is not known.
SiiUtor Miller introduced a Senate
Concurrent Resolution in the Senate
yesterday afternoon,. asking that the
St;ti Hoard of Education revise the
state course of study for public schools
$60,000 Per Day
This is the average sum paid
daily to policy-holders by The
Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York.; Multiply
that by a year and the wonder
of. the amount disappears when
you -learn how and where the
largest accumulation of trust
funds in the world is invested,
as shown in "A Banker's Will."

omitting all non-essentials. The reso
lution claims that the course of study
requires too much work of the children
and that so much non-essential work is
required that essential branches are not
and cannot be learned; that there are
too many books in use. causing a. finan
cial blirden to the people. The resolu
tion was adopted, fully three-fourths of
the Senators not knowing upon what
they were voting.
- Senator Croisan was almost success
ful in getting his primary law bill out
of the hands of the Judicial committee
yesterday afternoon. He moved that it
be reported today at 10:30 a. m. and it
was carried. Senator KuykendalL, who
is against the measure, discovered soon
after what had been done and moved
for a reconsideration and the motion
carried- Senator roisans motion was
then put and failed to carry. 10 to .12
against.
; When the House Bill to establish a
Summer Normal School at Newport and
appropriate $5000 for Its support, came
up in the Senate quite a number of the
Senators left the room so as not to be
recorded on the matter, it seemed. A
call of the Senate returned, all of them
to their seats except tvm. The bill was
then passed with five against.
When 'House Bill No. 209. to place the
State Superintendent on a flat salary
of $3000 came up yesterday afternoon.
Senator Miller made a strong effort to
get the bill side-tracked by referring It
to a special committee. His efforts
were without resultts and the bill pass
ed with four votes against it.

Passed Two Big Bills.
Washington., Feb. 16. There was no
debate on the Statehood Bill in the Sen
ate today.; Vest, while the Indian Ap
propriation bill was up, called at tenUon
to the point of order which had been
made against one of its provisions on
the ground that it was new legislation.
The Senate, he" said, had passed the
Philippine bill as a rider to the Army
Appropriation bill and yet ruled the
other provisions out. All the rules, he
said, were violated when the majority
was in favor of any measure. Morgan
spoke on the question of privilege re
garding the despatch which recently
appeared in public print purporting to
be signed by the Colombian Minister to
Mexico. Senor Rafal Reyes, in which
Senor Reyes fook exception to. an al
leged statement by Morgan in the Sen
ate that the Colombian President had
sold out and abdicated for $l.oo,o0.
Morgan declared that there was a be
trayal of the Senate in the matter of
what transpires at the executive ses
sion and Senor Reyes had, violated the
principle of diplomacy when he obtain
ed Information surreptitiously from per
sons false to their trust.
Busy in the House.
Washington, Feb. 16. The House
disposed of a number of bills today un
